Aggies vault into AP top 25, TCU drops down

The first Associated Press college football poll of the regular season saw one Texas team make a big move up while another took a dip.

Texas A&M moved into the top 25 at No. 16 after the Aggies' 38-17 victory over Arizona State on Saturday night at NRG Stadium. The Aggies had been just out of the top 25 at No, 27 entering the season.

In the coaches' poll, A&M moved eight spots from 27th to 19th.

TCU, meanwhile, dropped from No. 2 to 3 in both polls after edging Minnesota 23-17 on the road in Thursday's season opener.

Baylor, the other Texas team in the top 25, remained at No. 4 in each poll after beating SMU 56-21.

The Southeastern Conference has a record 10 teams ranked in the AP poll of the regular season.

The SEC already held the record for most teams from one conference in the Top 25 with eight, a mark it matched in the preseason. After the conference went 12-1 to open the season, No. 16 Texas A&M and No. 25 Mississippi State moved into the poll to go with the eight teams already there.

Defending national champion Ohio State remained No. 1 in both polls after pulling away 42-24 at Virginia Tech on Monday night.
